Pinterest Fun Party Inspiration
Anyone else out there love Pinterest? I joined back in January and rarely a day goes by when I am not inspired to pin something! Of my boards, Fun Party Inspiration is a favorite. Some of the images below are things I’ve pinned, others found from other pinners. It’s a little bit addictive!

Ferry Building Farmers' Market
The Saturday morning farmers’ market at the Ferry Building in San Francisco could turn me vegetarian. Composed of hundreds of vendors and purveyors of natural goodness, it takes me hours to walk through, to choose my figs, my peaches, my raspberries, cheese, bread, honey, and it’s one of my favorite places to spend time in the Bay Area. Inside or out, the Ferry Building never...

Summer Bounty
Nothing says summer to me more than fresh farmstand bounty and abundant farmers markets. A few weeks ago a friend asked if I wanted to come with her to an Amish farmstand-market in Quarryville, PA - and I am so glad I did! Here are some of the photos from what I picked up that day and the treats created with my bounty. (All photos by Jill Lauck)

Cherry Blossom Paper
May I introduce you to Pippa, Sofia, Cate, and Annabelle (among others)? After a dream come true experience and a day with the crafty ladies of Martha Stewart Living, I started on another dream: selling my cards to the world. Etsy seemed like the perfect way to get started, and it’s been fun to sort through my beloved washi collection for the perfect combination! It all started years ago...
